At the range or on the hunt, the Howard Leight by Honeywell Impact Sport Sound Amplification Electronic Shooting Earmuff keeps you protected from hazardous noise and connected to your environment. It carries a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 22 in both on and off mode. When the electronic ear protection is switched on, it employs built-in directional microphones that amplify ambient sounds to a safe 82 dB. This allows you to hear important commands on the range and crucial environment sounds when hunting. For additional shooting hearing protection, it also actively listens and automatically shuts off amplification when loud impulsive sounds like firearm discharges reach 82 dB. Patented Air Flow Control technology allows for a slim earcup design that ensures your firearm stock has clearance while shooting. The padded headband features telescopic height adjustment for a comfortable, customized fit. An external audio jack lets you connect the shooting earmuff to an MP3 player, scanner or other audio source. The battery delivers approximately 350 hours of usage, and the automatic shut-off feature engages after 4 hours to help save battery life. All Howard Leight electronic earmuffs and safety eyewear are compatible for use with each other.

Fantastic value – my favorite hearing protection (update)
Five stars EASY. I’ve had my pair of Impact Sport hearing protection for three years now I think, or there abouts. I’ve used mine at work, running heavy equipment 80+ hours a week and laboring all manner of dirty jobs on large demo and construction projects. I absolutely love these. Are they the highest tech? No. Are they the most comfortable? No. Are they the highest level of sound damping available? No. What they are, and why they receive such high regard from myself, is very good for their intended purpose in every respect, especially for the price. One can certainly spend a lot more, as a matter of fact a couple of my co-workers have the high-end 3M head gear with the Bluetooth this and bells and whistles that, but they are bulkier, much more expensive and those guys are constantly babying their sets. I’ve never worried about babying mine. I take care of them like anything else I own; I don’t kick them around or anything, but I have used and used and used them some more. They’ve floated around in my dirt crusted duty bag for weeks at a time, bouncing around the floorboards in a rock truck for days, been used and banged around on construction and demo projects and been subjected to thousands of rounds of small arms fire and, the ultimate test – my kids have played with them. The audio clarity on these is very good, if not perfect, and I get an amplification boost which I’m spoiled for. I can hear better with these on and I never get the feeling that my auditory sense is hindered. With a couple of lesser rigs that I’ve had (one of which actually cost twice as much), I would keep getting the feeling that I wasn’t hearing things… “correctly” due to the sound quality and a lack of directional sense. Consequently, I would find myself compelled to lift them off of my ears at times to cue in to sounds that I’d heard. Not so with these; I never feel compelled to lift them off to hear better. I can wear mine for hours without discomfort and the batteries last so long, even at full amplification, that I don’t have a guess as to how many hours they actually last – a long frikken time. They’re low profile which lends them better usage under more “dynamic” work conditions; they just don’t get in the way. I’ve also used mine during target practice with compensated 308 Win and 10mm Auto. These earmuffs are enough protection that damage does not occur even under the high decibel hammering dealt out by those arms. No ringing in the ears even under the brutal, cranium splitting, muzzle blast of rapid fire compensated arms. When I’m operating equipment and the cab noise is high, I put these on and set the audio so I’m comfortable. My ears are protected and I can still hear things like the VHF in the cab, horns and voice commands and engine noise perfectly. Like I said before though, these are not the highest level of sound protection you can get. If you’re used to using the big, high NRR stuff, these might seem a little light. I call them just right and I give them 5 Stars.Update: Still going strong! It’s 1/14/17 now. I’m wearing these on a daily basis in my shop, still using these when I’m shooting and I also wear these when I’m out cutting firewood with a chainsaw. Sub-zero temperatures, snow, years of rugged use in general have not stopped these things. Mine still work like new, although they no longer look new by any measure. These have been a great value. When this pair finally go the way of Chesty Puller and Audie Murphy, I’m getting another set of the same.

amazing product, great price, will save your ears.
Let me start with this.I have owned cheap ones from harbour freight.These are a million times better, specially since they are battery powered noise canceling headset.They automatically turn down the sound once the loudness goes over a certain Db. Protecting your precious hearing.No more ears ringing.The girlfriend is no longer jumping at every shot others take around you.I just wish they would have had Bluetooth capability and a microphone, then I would work and pay with these all day long.On that note, here is what I think of them aftera few times at the range.They are comfortable leather type.They have input jack for music or mic.They are adjustablethey bring good quality batteries. (Duracell)they fit in most places. I carry my S&W shield .40 gun clip + ammo + eye perfection + upLula + these headsets all in one small plastic ammo box. The ones they sell for 8-10$ or less here at amazon.You can adjust the sound amplification and better hear your surroundings. It’s like having bionic hearing.Love these headsets.I read a few reviews about this item and I completely agreed with them when they said they could not stop the sound from coming in through the side of the headset when wearing glasses.Well ley me say, there is a solution to this minor issue for such a great gadget.The solution is simple, Wear the right type of eye protection. I found this solution by chance since my girlfriend had forgotten her eye wear and I kindly gave her mine and bought the cheap ones they sell at the range. Well, let me tell you; I had no issues what so ever and they fit perfectly over my ears. AND I HAVE HUGE EARS.I for mines on sale, and would have happily paid full retail price as well. I now have a pair. These are great and would buy again.

Peso non eccessivo, comfort ed efficacia.Le 3 caratteristiche fondamentali ci sono.Dopo un trauna acustico, ho bisogno di qualcosa che mi protegga senza “isolarmi fuori dal mondo”.Della varie cuffie attive viste in giro, ho provato queste spinto dalla qualitàdel brand.Devo dire di aver fatto la scelta giusta.Garantiscono aderenza e compressione adeguate senza risultare scomode o dolorose.La consistenza dei tamponi è ideale, e le dimensioni generose fanno si che avvolgano anche orecchie generose come le mie.La timbrica dei suoni e delle voci riprodotti è molto naturale e l’attenuazione dei rumori più forti è sempre ottima.Costano sicuramente qualcosa in più rispetto ad altri prodotti, ma secondo me ne vale la pena!

Do 9mm i głośniejszych się nie nadają. Tłumienie dźwięku jest za słabe. Do tego są niewygodne. Jedynymi zaletami są kompaktowy rozmiar i wygody manipulator głośności. Warto dopłacić do sprawdzonych rozwiązań. Generalnie nie polecam.

– Great design- Great fit- Good build- Great feature where it will shut off after a day of forgetting to turn it off. To prevent battery drainage
